Monthly Community Health Outreach Activities

As part of its commitment to improving access to essential healthcare services at the grassroots level, the Dawis Initiative for Sustainability Community Development (DISCOD) conducts monthly community health outreach activities across selected communities in Adamawa State.

The outreach activities aim to improve access to basic healthcare services through community-based screening, testing, health education, and the distribution of essential auxiliary drugs. The services provided include HIV Testing Services (HTS), Hepatitis screening (HP), malaria testing, and Tuberculosis (TB) screening. These interventions are designed to promote early detection, facilitate timely referrals for further medical attention, and improve community awareness of disease prevention and management.

Through these monthly outreaches, DISCOD reaches underserved and vulnerable populations, particularly individuals and households with limited access to healthcare facilities, thereby contributing to improved health outcomes and community well-being.

The activities have been conducted across the following Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Adamawa State:

• Girei LGA
• Mubi South LGA
• Hong LGA
• Numan LGA
• Yola North LGA
• Lamurde LGA

Through these sustained community-based interventions, DISCOD continues to demonstrate its commitment to promoting accessible healthcare, disease prevention, early diagnosis, and improved quality of life among underserved communities in Adamawa State.
